I found this thread interesting when it was “Calor and its transport” now with all this disaster stuff, I must say I have lost interest, sorry.
I am pleased someone has given a response, I do have a lot of accident photos of world wide lpg incidents, and lots more of standard lpg truck photos, but if it there is no further interest, I will just shut up shop. Cheers

Hi 5th Dragoon,
To keep everybody happy, consider starting an LPG accidients/disaster topic 
That way, the readers/posters will know what’s what, and what to expect when they view a topic. 
If you go with that idea, I can move some/all of your (IMHO very good) posts from here to the new topic if you wish. 
Ok, I will not post again until you do that. When I continued after the Calor thread, I did say I had loads of photos, the accident category is just a part, and they are current only because of the way they are loaded into my picture album, I will exhaust these at some stage and revert to truck photos. Cheers
Thanks Diesel Dave and 5th Dragoon!!
Keep them coming mate

Hi 5thDragoon,
I still do a lot with Calor, so you’ll see some of my Calor Transport pics in this topic.
If you have any Calor Transport pics, then please post them here.
If you have ‘general’ truck pics, then please post them into any topic you think they’ll fit in with.
I’ll begin moving your propane accident/disaster posts from this topic and they’ll look like they’ve disappeared but only for a while and that’ll be because I’m putting the whole lot together. A new propane accidents/disasters topic will then appear.

Hi wondercat,
Since we have to try to please everybody, I’ve moved most of the non-Calor related disaster pics away from this topic.
However, it’s only right that Calor’s disaster pics should remain here because they’re bang on-topic.
That seems fair to me.
I do like this Calor Transort topic, long may it continue.

Hi joeshell,
Agreed mate, this is a great topic.
I love the Calor stuff, even the disasters. Thank you
Here’s a pic of a small rigid for delivering gas cylinders, as far as I know it’s a Calor vehicle, although not painted in their fleet livery.
I took the pic at Ellesmere Port.
As already mentioned, it’s not allowed to take cameras/phones etc onto the site, but this was an exception of which I took full advantage.
The Ellesmere Port depot had been earmarked for closure for some time, but once the announcement was made, the static vessels were drained and made safe. Just to be double sure, I still got permission to take a cameraphone onto what WAS the site.
Here are some site pics that you wouldn’t normally get to see…
'scuse fingers, it was a sunny day.
The small vessel at the far end is for Methanol.
The red pipework is the deluge system that squirts thousands of gallons of high pressure water if there’s a fire.

Once the decision was made, there was no going back.
The decommissioned vessels had to have holes cut in them.
And here’s what cut the holes:
Interesting photos of a plant I knew well from my time there. The storage tanks were 60 tonne capacity made by a company called Roberts Brothers in around 1961 (which is when the plant opened). I believe that these were part of a larger batch made for Calor and the others are still in use in Coryton.
The two Butane tanks were scrapped but the two Propane tanks were transported to Stoney Stanton where they are still held in storage pending future use. The photo was taken on the day they arrived at Stoney and it was a challenge getting them on site.
Dieseldave – I hope you don’t mind me pointing this out but the photo you posted as a flare stack is a vent stack. Where possible Calor try to recover any LPG back to storage but this is not always possible so it is vented to atmosphere. These quantities are too small and erratic to keep a flare stack alight. The device that can be seen installed near the top of the stack is a flame arrester. This is to protect the system from fire in case of a lightning strike.

Hi IAC60,
I don’t mind at all that you’ve pointed it out that I’d got it wrong, and I won’t even claim that it was a typo. 
I’ve been back and edited the title of that pic.
It’s a fair cop, but the upside is that I’ve learned something, so thanks for pointing it out.
Next time I’m at Stoney, I’ll try to get to see the vessel in your pic.
Your pic explains the whereabouts of the missing vessels in my second lot of pics.
Hi 5th Dragoon.
I think it’s a film set and the tanker is there to provide gas for some special effects. I recognise the Ford Transit van which belongs to Fawley depot and I know the person on it has been involved in this type of work. I’m not sure when the photo was taken but looking at the livery on the tanker I would say its around 2010. It could be the film set for the last James Bond movie.

Hi joeshell,
(And everybody else too!! )
So as to give people a choice, I’ve created a new topic in the Photo Forum for all the really excellent non-Calor Transport photos posted by 5thDragoon and other posters.
For those who don’t normally venture into the other forums, the new topic can be accessed by scrolling downwards from the main index page until you see TRANSPORT PHOTO FORUM (MEMBERS ONLY), OR by clicking on the following link:
